The SCARY Truth about Kobbie Mainoo Nobody is Noticing 

What videos would you like to see next 👀

Mainoo retired Amrabat's career at 27yo

This afternoon against Luton Mainoo was the most composed and committed player on the pitch. There were 2 or 3 occasions when I just shook my head on awe at what he did. He will, I believe become World Class, but he's not the next Paul Scholes, he's the first Kobbie Mainoo. They are, apart from both being midfielders and for the moment at least, 2 quite different types of player.

Man U has got exciting young talent. Mainoo, Garnacho looking good they have huge potential imo, and with Hojlund becoming the youngest player to score in 6 consecutive prem games. It feels like a breath of fresh air. Future looking bright for Man U.

His Gameplay remind me of AC Milan Legend, Clarence Seedorf. Strong, very good balance on the ball and good control of the ball.

You missed the most important trait. He is fearleas composed and doesnt bulge under pressure

He was booked for the best tackle of the weekend today

The perfect analogy I’ve heard about him is “Mainoo is the guy employers ask for when they say they want a uni graduate with 13 years experience”. The guy has played maybe 15 games, had a bad injury up until October-November but plays effortlessly. He should not be this good at 18 😂😂 Garnacho gets the hype because he’s a winger but this guy is generational

As long as Kobbie's keeping himself out of the media spotlight much like how Scholes did, quietly doing his business on the pitch and in training, he can be one of the best in the PL in the years to come.

One thing also worth noting is that he seems really mature off the pitch, something many footballers lack, which also is incredible for his age

This kids got pure talent,What a player he will turn out be,he'll be class against Luton this evening CMON MAINOO❤

This kid is special for sure! A HUGE talent, but his work ethic and humility will also gain him huge respect from the fans!!!

Just watched the Utd vs luton match, this guy is really special. Just world class.

I'm a huge fan of him. It's a bonus that we both come from Stockport. Hopefully as he becomes more famous the media don't put pressure on him. I still feel he needs a little taking care of to become a legend.

He is so good under pressure which is not easy to do. And he seems to make the right decision most times. He seems mature way ahead of his age. I too thought he could be our next Paul Scholes. But of course he will be different but maybe just as effective

What I like is he always looks to play forward and on the half turn, something that we have missed from central midfield for a while, only seeing odd glimpses from Pogba in recent years. Hopefully he can stay fit and gets an extended run in the team. He defo deserves it and seems mature beyond his age in interview

His wisdom of the game is just like jude Bellinghams

This Creator is Mad underrated 100% subbing Mainoo will be a huge talent

Agree 100%, I have been slated for comparing him to Scholes but I watched Scholes' career and I have had an eye on this kid for 2 years, his movement, his passing, his composure, he is ahead of where Scholes was at that age. He is a player for now though, he is good enough to be starting week in and week out.

He's already an outstanding player, such balance and he is difficult to shake off the ball. Love watching the kid.

He’s a generational talent🤩

im 38 years old and been watching football my whole life. When i see Mainoo play im just in awe. The kid was born to play the game, and is an outrageous talent in my mind. Watching this talent i will make a crazy prediction and say he will become one of the greatest players of all time.

His excellent traits are his quick footwork, passing ability covering every range and, most importantly, his composure under the pressure, which is very crucial in a modern football era when u face pressing everywhere!

HOW does this guy have Only 5.6k subs 100% subbing

He's an absolute gem! 🎉

I became a Man United fan at the 2014 season and this is the first time I watched in awe at any united youngster's sheer ability and composure on the ball. After 20 seasons I'm gonna be talking about Mainoo to my kids like how the older fans are talking about the class of '92 to theirs

He will be the HEART of our team in years to come.😄

He has the composure and creates space for himself just like Scholes, he’s very good

TBH, he gives me more of a Carrick with a dash of Pogba flair vibe. Scholes was my fave player and Kobbie does have his air of coolness and that extra time on the ball. That is special.

Keep being humble and consistent 🔥🔥🔥

Great presentation!

Mainoo has the potential to become a great player. He is calm under pressure and has excellent technical skills.

You just know Southgate will pick Henderson and Kalvin Phillips over him at the euros lol

I'm so glad that he's finally being seen for who he is... I "spotted" him three years ago and kept singing his praises and now he's showing it. Ibragimov, the next gem coming through that should be a guaranteed sensation, is already turning heads... our Academy is turning out some real future stars. (Pity about Greenwood)

He is more like Seerdorf in the style he plays. Im older so I remember Seerdorf games. Scholes is one of kind midfielder, this kid is very similar to Seerdorf, in composure, stature, passing, flair on the ball.

Far out! That was a beautifully put together video mate. The video editing, narration and topic was incredible. Kept my ADHD head ah attention all the way through

Great video! defiantly subscribing!!

A "Young Paul Scholes" was almost exclusively playing as a Forward. And I don't even mean a Number 10...he was a Striker until a good few years into his career.

My brother this is such a good video essay that you've made. We don't want to put too much pressure on him but lets be honest. We haven't seen a talent like him in midfield for a very long time. I can actually say with confidence that I believe we have the best teenage centre midfielder in the world. If he was at Dortmund or a team where they focus on developing young talent to move on, he would be playing for Real Madrid in the future alongside Bellingham, Camavinga and Touchenmeni. We just have to get the right manager and players around him that can enable him to reach his potential. We don't want to exhaust him. I am confident that he will be one of the best midfileders we have seen in the premiership if he reaches his full potential. He will be alongside the Viera's, Yaya Toure's, Gerrard's and De Bryune's. He has everything and has demonstrated everything you need in terms of qualities at this young age consistently. He will need winners around him and the right manager and players. We didn't play well against Luton and won however, for our manager to say we did play well tells me one thing. He is not the right man to lead the club and we need to get the right person in so that we can ensure the development of young Gems like Mainoo and Gnancho.

Hey Matt. I find your channel extremely underrated and its a good thing youve started to diverge into this variance of content apart from fc24. Waiting for your part 2 of history of man utd, any updates on that?

Great video 😊

Never seen a player so unfazed on the field at only 18yrs of age, what a talent he is Mainoo❤

Really seems like a once in a generation kind of player (beautifully edited btw Matt)

I just hope that this doesn't wear down his body by the time he is in his late 20's or early 30's. Playing every game so young harmed many players like Michael Owen.

Seen him play at salford for united under 21's in the efl trophy. He stood out then. Cool under pressure.

United would be on title contention by now if all players played passionately like Kobbie. This player is gem for United. His passion for the club and desire to play is immaculate. He should stay fit at all cost.

Subbed from Toronto, Canada. Hope Mainoo can become a great. My club will benefit greatly! Go Man U

Man i love your videos,keep up the good work.Mainoo is a rising star,he may not be the new Paulie but he ll be up there,amongst the biggest legends of the club if he is trained well by the staff and the other players play what they have to,how they must to.It s a whole huge process in the making,ManUtd should stick with EtH cuz he a good coach,only thing he lacks a constant 1st eleven due to injuries but there are better days coming,i feel it.

Reminds me of Michael Essien at Chelsea combined with a De Brutne passing ability, certainly a world-class young player, and I see Barcelona putting a bid in for him in the 2 years.

he is one of the best 18 year olds i have ever seen and im almost 50 , it doesn't make sense the ability and composure he has at that age its like a cheat code . southgate doesn't have the balls to do it but rice , mainoo , bellingham and england probably win the euros

Kobbie Mainoo could become one of the best players that we have ever seen in the Premier League in a few years if he could keep up what he is doing. No offence to Manchester United but a squad who can pass the ball around the park like a tiki taka would be perfect for him and would benefit him. If I was Ten Hag I would be trying to build a squad around the midfield area as this would definitely improve the results on match days and would also benefit the whole squad. It is amazing how such a talent could be this young. This kid could be running rings around class teams like Barca effortlessly in 2-3 years if Ten Hag continues to play him. Well done Kobbie 👏

absolute baller cant wait to see how far he progresses as a player 👹 🇾🇪

The time he appears to have on the ball, his awareness, calm under pressure, his confidence, strength and touch all reminds me of Scholesy. If he turns out to be half the player Scholes was he’ll be an asset. Important we don’t rush him as he’s so young and allow him to develop his all round game at the top level. Very exciting!

Even my dad said he reminds him of Paul Scholes, noticing even when Kobbie gets the ball it’s like the whole game slows down around him “Scholesesque” he said. I agree, what a player. A Rice, Mainoo, Bellingham England midfield also sounds incredible.

The young man is trumendoulsy an exceptional talent, sometimes I loose words for this young lad,his confidence both on and off the ball is unbelievable,am really excited to see the reminder of our games how he performs and the goals yet to come from him,this young lad is more than the future,"he is the trophy lad"😁

watched him the first time when utd played betis during the world cup break. he's improved so quickly, skys the limit for him

If he was doing this at another prem club and we wanted to sign him, it'd be 100 mil please

He reminds me of Seedorf

I feel like Mainoo is super underrated haven’t seen a midfielder as composed as him for United since Carrick but Mainoo has dribbling in his bag.

Mainoo, Savage and Zidane Iqball would have been the best trio on the planet if allowed to develop together.

This kid is special. Cant wait to see what the future holds for him.

What else could be done for kobbie moee than this video? Nice video bro

There's one trait that great midfielders have over merely good ones. They know what their options are before they receive the ball. A good player will get the ball, look up and then make a decision on a pass/run etc. This split second "gather/look up/assess" reaction allows opponents to close space and reduce the options. The great players know the field of play and their options before and as they are receiving the ball. This appears to give them more "time on the ball". Scholes, Xavi, Messi and being joined by Bellingham. Just watch Mainoo before he gets the ball. He is in this group with this skill. Temperament, injuries and outside distractions are the only things stopping him from joining the great names.

As a Manchester United fan, let's not hype the boy yet, I'm not satisfied yet. I just want to see more and more good performance from him. I love the boy.

I watched Mainoo in the game against Luton yesterday and he stood out a mile from the rest of the united players on the pitch with his composure on the ball

That cut on delusional was 👌

the most shocking thing about the kid is the composure, especially at 18. Pogba had the talent but he has the same disease Bruno has, that is to try hero-ball at every single opportunity and never playing the safe pass, Bruno could get away with it as he was normally inthe final third but Pogba was in the midfield and losing the ball was a bigger risk. Mainoo is capable of the extraordinary but more importantly he seems to have the instinct to know WHEN to do it and when to just keep it for a second, beat the press and play a simple pass to the fullback. That's un-teachable and he will only get better with age. We might have just unearthed a gem.

He’s one of the most composed players iv seen on the ball for such a young age, he never panics and always sees the pass hopefully that will rub off on some of our other players as half of them can’t hold up the ball to save their lives

His world-class

Good video. I agree with your assessment at the end, you mentioned all his attributes except one…. The one ability that will make him world class and without it, a player wouldn’t get there……..Awareness, his ability to scan the positional play of his own teammates and opposition is scary. What’s even more frightening is he is more athletic than Scholes yet I believe his awareness is/will be just as high. They called Scholes “SatNav” I’m calling Mainoo “GoogleEarth”. He sees absolutely everything, mix that with hard work and he will be Elite

You got talent keep it up

Why do people have to keep comparing our talents to previous, or even current players? Not only does it put massive pressure on them, but it takes away from their uniqueness. Garnacho isn’t the new Ronaldo, he’s Garnacho. Mainoo isn’t the new Scholes/Pogba, he’s Mainoo. Hojlund isn’t our Haaland, he’s Hojlund. They’re all extremely talented players in their own rights, and they should only be compared to themselves, no one else. Let them make their own names for themselves.

such an elegant player

Damn right everything you said about koobi mainoo is bang on,, imagine the pressure on his shoulders coming on that pitch at old Trafford in front of all them fans, it didn’t faze him at all, my guys got ice running through his veins, he’s left a lot of people speechless and he’s made a few of these so called pundits eat their words, this is what Manchester United need, these young players that have come up through the ranks are unbelievable, they play for the club their honoured to be playing for man united, they’ve got a lot to prove, look at the difference with the young lads running rampant, nobody can keep up, I’ve been watching the under 21’s and the under 18’s and we’ve definitely got some absolute class coming up like Danial Gore, him and koobi in midfield could be very tight, yo and these young players know each other inside out, they wouldn’t even need to look up to see where there passing the ball cos they’d know who’d be running to get on the end of it and with shaw being injured so much we’ve got Marc Jurado,, very fast and strong also with the like of Shea Lacey and Charlie McNeil things could very well be on the up, we don’t need these players that are on stupid amounts of money a week that think they are bigger than the club cos there not bothered in the slightest cos win lose or draw or ever ringing up pulling a sickie their still getting that humongous pay at the end of the week, start playing these that care about that badge on the shirt they wear, Manchester United till I die…

He first mastered close quarter combat playing futsal/indoor area footy, then Man United threw him in a champion fitness routine so he can play in the EPL. I am noticing this as a new trend or style of play, so to speak.

Mainoo has great talent, hope he stays humble and will be a legend.

Marino is without doubt a very special talent. You don’t have to be a football guru to predict that this lad will become a world class midfielder. He is an out and out gem!

United need some new midfielders alongside mainoo for him to fulfill his potential. If we get De Jong then i believe that partnership will be special

Those passimg accuracy stats are sre similar to what I saw for Paul Scholes and Roy Keane when I used to read Manchester United magazine growing up

Imagine we had mainoo, Greenwood, hojlund and garnacho. I’m still in shock with Greenwood. He honestly was such a natural born goal scorer

And now he's been called up to the senior england national team while yamal is coming on the 72nd minute for spain

great video

i always felt like martinez could of played the 6 but this guy is perfect for any team. if we had someone like him while we still had pogba we would be top 3🤫

Seedorf in the making

he moves like water with the ball at his feet thats his biggest trait to me also the excellent passing, but traits pairing together well

This boy is going to be massive for United's future

He was an absolute beast at Luton today .

Mainoo is a class act. This is the new breed of midfielder and to play at 18 in Prem at that level and doing what he is doing is unbelievable

The comparison is not fair by any stretch of the imagination

He plays like he is watching himself from a birds eye view perspective. Sometimes he has 2 men sprinting towards him, and he is just so aware he knows where to go. That is some serious talent not many players possess. He is our future.

I think the fact at his current level he is easily out most composed, consistent player says alot. His decision making and football iq is years ahead of where it should be for a young player. And I've noticed he isn't trying to do it all at once it's like he is adding bits to his game piece by piece ensuring he is doing each part properly before adding another piece. I think providing he doesn't get a career defining injury he is world class potential for sure

Ngl when he played against Aston Villa,his long pass from the right side of the pitch was just oozing like Pogba. This kid is special!

👀 This video sheds light on an overlooked topic. It's important to raise awareness and stay informed about issues that may not be getting enough attention. Knowledge is power! 💡

Scholes is my favourite player ever kobbie is exeptional especially for his age lets hope he can have a career like scholes

He's a special talent no doubt. Definitely has what it takes to be world class. 🙌🏾

Kobbie mainoo what a talent I love this kid already

Banger again 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Hes more of a pogba than Scholes. He's got more about him. He can dribble like you've not even seen yet. Hes got every to go to the very top. Love that it we fail to get top 4 this season... I'm happy we have brought this lad through!

Biggest virtue of Mainoo is composure in possession, which right now many players lack in the squad.

The boy is unstoppable...he is a real genius
